df parent is in hospital icu and surgeon wants to give blood.
parent is df for almost 20 and firmly refused blood for personal reasons (spiritual).. .
my concern is that parent is taking strong stand based on outdated jw gb hlc guidelines.
I was told to explain to R & F fractions like this: if the Bible said we mustn't have apple pie we wouldn't have apple pie, nor components such as apples or pastry, however things like cinnamon or sugar are like the fractions. Bizarre I know but it worked with every JW I told it to.
Addition: My heart goes out to you in this situation

Great video, direct and to the point without being confrontational
not sure if this is the place to say hello and im new but hello and im new here.
i was a jw years ago but not for many years now.
i joined here because i was kicked off the last jw related board i was on.
Welcome
i am suppose to become an unbaptized publisher in a few days.
however ive changed my mind.
i finished my bible study and progressing in the org.
Welcome. You are in a great position where you do not have to do anything and they are still hoping you become a member. Just stop going and don't look back is my advice. You are already seeing behind the scenes and seeing it for what it really is, a cult.

It wasn't me !!!!
Nor me!!!
health care studies are showing obese body weight index is worse than smoking "death sticks", so how is the tower going to address their growing problem of overweight elders and elderettes?
if a organization is able to disfellowship a member for smoking, why not do the same with other vices and crutches their people use to hide stress, emotional disorders and depression?
employers are asking for a bmi test a their potential employees to create a diet to get healthy.
Stubborn Disbeliever - double standards indeed! I know what it is like living with adults that are drunkards, does not leave happy memories. I confronted someone in the KH before I stopped going and told them to get secular help and pointed out how serious it was scripturally, I was instantly shunned by members of their family, even though behind their back they were all talking about it, no-one had the cahoonas to help them.
i don't know how i made it back to my computer in one piece but here goes.
yes i know that some people probably won't remember or recognize me.
i made only a scarce amount of threads after joining up.
Welcome back, I feel for you, being in such a difficult situation. You are having a tough time. Do you have any hobbies or interests you can expand and make new friends? Venting on here helps, but real interaction is good also.
i know somebody who got disfellowshipped...they decided to appeal.
how long does the appeal process usually take?
do they ever get overturned?
Unless they can prove they were perhaps mentally ill, or some other extenuating circumstance, for using the 'corn'. that was not mentioned in the first JC, they won't have it overturned. The appeal committee's job is to see if the first decision was correct, it is not to hear the JC all over again and have a second one.
been lurking here for years but finally decided to come out, at least partially.
of all things, the post of 'bats in the belfry' re: the supposed break up of gb member geoffrey jackson and his cute (ex-?
) fiancee a few days ago spurred me to do so.
Welcome, all the best as you continue your fade
